Not all choices will be used. *1 S exponential four competition follicular lag two J stable equilibrium Logistic growth results in a(n) curve when graphed. This growth curve exhibits time. The phase exhibits a slow growth rate due to the small number of individuals within the population early on. Exponential growth slows as increases during the deceleration phase. As the population size grows, the growth rate will accelerate due to biotic potential during what is called the growth phase. -shaped growth distinct phases over Finally, the carrying capacity is reached during the < Prey n for resources phase where birth and death rates are equalarrow_forward
